Knowing be have a top 3 pick this year guaranteed who do you like as being the KINGS draft choices
You must pick 1ST choice a 2nd choice & a 3rd choice a choice can also equal trading the pick if you want ?
Here is my top 3 choices in order
1. BLAKE G.
2. RICKY RUBIO
3. H.THABBETT
so who do you guys choose ? (remember only your 1st,2nd & 3rd choices ! )

I don't want Thabeet unless we have Griffin next to him so I'm good. I see Roy Hibbard comparisons.

1. Griffin
2. Rubio
3. Jennings
4. Evans
There isn't any sufficent reason to PLAN ON TRADING the fourthunless we get youth of equal value, because no team has two picks in the top 15 that would make it worth it, and

Anyone see Thabeet falling out of the lottery? He's too much of a unfinished product.

Hibbert will be better than Thabeet. Thabeet is a bust, you can book it.

it happened to deandre jordan. at one point was projected for the lotter and fell to the 2nd round. i see thabeet at his level. tons of potential, but also can bust big time.

I pretty much agree with the general consensus here:
1) Griffin
2) Rubio
3 & 4 are probably Evans & Jennings in some order. Even though I'm not a huge fan of Evans I believe he has as much potential as anyone else in the top 8-10 and fills a position of great need for us--plus he plays defense.

1- Griffin
2- Rubio
3- Evans
4- Derozan
I think that Derozan could end up being a very solid player. If we wanted, I'm sure we could trade down or up to get him around 10-12. If we could get him to work a bit on defense, he could be a Rudy Gay type of player best case scenario. He could solve our long term problem at the 3.
Lets say we trade up from houston to NJ by combining donte greene and maybe our second rounder.
Rubio/Beno
Martin/Garcia
Noc/Derozan
Thompson/Diagu?
Hawes/FA?
Not a bad future if you ask me.

Griffin
Wall
Rubio
Evans/Jennings

^^ something about him turning 19 during the calender of the draft. That along with something else I heard/read. IIRC i think Chad Ford heard something about this as well stay tuned....

No mention of Harden at #3? This kid is going to be really good. He reminds of Brandon Roy/John Salmons.
1. Griffin
2. Rubio
3. Harden/Jennings/Thabeet/Evans
Haven't really put much thought on the #3 though.

so is he older than rubio? that could be interesting if he gets in the draft if he lives up to the hype, but he would have to go against jennings and rubio.

Whoa, if John Wall declared for this year's draft, I think I pick him over Rubio. Wall was projected to be the #1 pick for NEXT years draft and I know why. He is a fkin stud.
